Approaches that guide online sessions
Stefanie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing to shape online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive actions. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unmotivated by clarifying values and strengthening commitment to change.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Stefanie will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow for quick updates, brief coaching, and steady progress between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while working toward clearer goals.
